Re: The Mother Tree
And no doubt a relative of "the cloud" which would, I suppose in this case, probably be Jim's mother trees mother...Right Billy?

I guess I don't know about "The Cloud." This tree dates from the mid 1950's. Whose tree is/was "The Cloud?"

OK, found "The Cloud." I had always understood that Joe Samuels found the first F. salisifolia, the tree above might be the cutting that Joe Samuels gave Jim Smith?

Thanks Dorothy
I found the Mary Miller account on my own, Jim's tree is dated 1975, so it all makes sense.

Re: The Mother Tree
Just to set thr record straight, my tree was purchased from a retail nursery on Vero's Beach for $10.00 in 1975. I found that his source was a wholesale nursery in Ap0opka Florida. This nursery had a large supply of them growing in containers in green houses.
Joe Samuel's bonsai -the Cloud exhibited at the ABS BCI 1975 convention in Miami was my inspiration.

Re: The Mother Tree
This display is well worth visiting for anyone in the area. Some fantastic trees that serve as both inspiration and intimidation.
